Ingredients

• 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it coats the onions and spices evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, honey, and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
